Sky & Desert Escape: Paracas, Ica & Nazca

Start & end in Miraflores 2 days Up to 12

About this trip

Two days that take you from Peru's coastline into the desert, ending with a flight over one of the country's strangest ancient sites. It's a short, well-paced escape that covers a lot of ground without feeling rushed.

You start in Paracas, taking in the coastal scenery, then move on to Ica and the desert dunes of Huacachina. The trip builds towards a flight over the Nazca Lines, the huge geometric figures etched into the desert floor that have puzzled archaeologists for decades.

It's a good fit if you want a quick hit of Peru's desert and coast without committing to a longer itinerary, with a bit of adventure and a genuinely unusual sight thrown in.

What you'll do

  • Take in the coastal views around Paracas
  • Visit the desert dunes of Huacachina near Ica
  • Fly over the Nazca Lines to see the ancient ground figures from above
Good to know
  • A short two-day trip, so expect a fairly packed schedule as you move between Paracas, Ica and Nazca
  • The flight over the Nazca Lines is the centrepiece of the trip
